Perhaps you already facilitate occasional one-off Away-days. But what does it mean to be a team coach? How do you persuade clients to invest in more than just a single Away-day? How do you help them to see the real return on a greater investment?

Typical outcomes: increased clarity about direction, roles and strategy, healthier relationships, the finishing of unfinished business, more effective problem-solving, and improved communication.

How does team coaching differ from one on one coaching? What skills must you have? This three-day course will answer all these and other questions.

This is a practically-focused course supported by a carefully-chosen theoretical framework, selected for its accessibility and robustness.

How we work

This course will mirror the process of team coaching in which you will engage with clients. We draw extensively on the learning environment created in the here and now by the group.

Most of the theoretical framework is provided through print materials supplied before and during the course.
